Heavy ligands such as polyoxometalates are opening a new frontier in actinide chemistry. Studying materials that are both radioactive and rare presents significant challenges. The elements that follow ...

Organometallic molecules, which consist of a metal ion surrounded by a carbon-based framework, are relatively common for early actinide elements like uranium (atomic number 92) but are scarcely known ...

Prodigious siblings can be annoying. All too often, they steal the spotlight and cast behind them an infuriating shadow of ...

A research team recently discovered the first organometallic molecule — coined “berkelocene” — containing the heavy element berkelium at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, or ...

Carolyn Krause presents the second part of the three-part series on the Oak Ridge National Laboratory's role in the discovery of elements in the periodic table. Many of them have been synthesized ...

Inorganic chemistry is the study of the structure, properties and reactions of all chemical elements and compounds except for organic compounds (hydrocarbons and their derivatives).

Heavy element researchers have been keen to lock down the 15 radioactive elements in the periodic table's actinide series using carbon-based cuffs ever since they trapped uranium in the far more ...

Currently, there are 25 operational nuclear power plants in the country with a total capacity of 8,880 MW, Minister of State ...
